Urban AI Defence Domes

Nationalscale, open‑architecture 'domes' will combine AI sensor fusion, automated interceptors (missile, drone, naval), and cross‑service coordination to provide 24/7 protection for cities and critical infrastructure. These systems will be sold as interoperable plug‑and‑play layers, accelerating proliferation, complicating burden‑sharing among allies, and creating new legal and escalation risks when deployed over populated areas. — If adopted, urban AI defence domes will reconfigure deterrence, domestic resilience, procurement politics, and regulation of autonomous force in ways that affect civilians, alliance interoperability, and escalation management.
